GARY â City residents who once enjoyed Republicâs free drop-off trash services are now bearing the financial burden â the result of the Gary City Council approving a trash collection rate increase that doesnât cover those services.
Gary Sanitary District Administrator Dan Vicari said Tuesday the advertised rates for drop-off is $55 to $75 per ton, depending on the item. He said Republic does not accept liquids, paint and items like fridges and air conditioning units, and charges a hefty price for tires.
GSD, which bills residents for sewer usage and trash collection, first asked the council in November to raise its monthly collection rate for households from $16.30 to $28.25 on the grounds GSD was already operating with a severe deficit under contract with Republic Services.
